Liza Minnelli at Carnegie Hall;

Classic Liza. This compilation of a three-week 1987 engagement at Carnegie Hall, site of her mother's 1961 triumph, captures Minnelli at the height of her powers. The 100-minute program includes old standards ("Alexander's Ragtime Band," "Love Is Here to Stay"), modern pop ("Somewhere Out There"), and of course her great signature tunes: "Some People," "Liza with a Z," "Mein Herr," "Money, Money," "Maybe This Time," "Cabaret," and "New York, New York." Before a highly sympathetic audience, she also provides some warm and slightly self-deprecating commentary about her past difficulties and a brief remembrance of her father, Vincente. If you must, a one-disc highlights version is also available. --David Horiuchi
